A Fossil-Free Future for the Lime Industry – New Research Lights the Way

/in /by

Quicklime production is one of Sweden’s most carbon-intensive industrial processes. Now, new research from Umeå University shows that electrification could become a realistic route to fossil-free production, without compromising product quality. In her doctoral thesis, Katarzyna Olovsson investigates how electric heating can replace fossil fuels in quicklime production. Using a laboratory-scale electric furnace, she studied […]
